The rules: name the 5 w's of your child(ren)'s names, then tag 5 of your friends to do the same! You can do one of your children or all of them.

Who named your child?: We both did. I'm pretty sure I initially suggested the first name, and Jen initially suggested the middle name. Scratch that - I know that's how it went down. And then I suggested using Jen's original last name as a second middle name.

What did you name him/her?: August Ruth [Last Names]

When did you come up with the name?: Somewhere in the middle of pregnancy, but I'm pretty sure it was after we lost the twin. We had been thinking of names for twins and then when we didn't have twins, it seemed somewhat odd to use any of the suggested twin names (even though they weren't "duo" names).

Where where you when you came up with the name?: I threw it out there one morning when we were laying in bed, some lazy Sunday or Saturday morning.

Why did you pick that name?: August is my paternal grandfather's middle name, an Anglicized version of Augusto. Ruth is Jen's paternal grandmother's name. Two admirable people.

I tag:

sassywoman,

viggie,

hazeldragon,

lelumama, and

firecrotch.
